Rainbow Road
iamerror Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Except in your eyes
"keep on son, don't look back"
Maybe it was electric
But it could've just been a rainbow-flavored reverie
Walking in a day-glo dreamland together
Your love is like a drug
Down our dreamland path together
I'm on the fucking edge.
Neon glows, as streetlights fade
Floating on cloud nine, just to fall.
The lyrics of iamerror's song Rainbow Road are both poetic and cryptic. The first line, "Never before has beauty been so deceiving," suggests that the singer has experienced something seemingly beautiful that turned out to be misleading or false. The next line, "Except in your eyes," implies that the subject of the song is the one who is deceiving the singer, perhaps with a false sense of love or commitment. The line "'keep on son, don't look back'" could be a reassuring message to the singer to keep moving forward and not dwell on the past or negative experiences.
The next few lines have a dreamlike quality to them, with phrases like "rainbow-flavored reverie" and "day-glo dreamland." The idea of walking down a "dreamland path together" suggests a romantic relationship, but the singer acknowledges that it was not meant to be. The line "Your love is like a drug" could also imply that the subject of the song is addictive or possessive in some way. The final line, "I'm on the fucking edge," adds a sense of urgency and danger to the song, suggesting that the singer is on the brink of a breakdown or even a physical act.
